[Obesity in Mexico, prevalence andtrends in adults. Ensanut 2018-19]
Abstract
Objective: To describe the prevalence of obesity in Mexican adults stratifying by physical and sociodemographic conditions and to analyze trends.
Materials and methods: The data of 16 256 adults who participated in Ensanut 2018-19 was analyzed. Obesity (WHO), abdominal adiposity (IFD) and short stature (NOM-008-SSA3-2017) were classified. Logistic regression models were performed to analyze the association between obesity and risk factors. ENSA-2000 and Ensanut (2006, 2012, 2018-19) were used to assess trends.
Results: The prevalence of overweight was 39.1%, obesity 36.1%, and abdominal adiposity 81.6%. Adults >40-50y and women had the highest prevalence. There was no difference by socio-economic level. Between 2000-2018, the prevalence of obesity increased 42.2% and morbid obesity 96.5%. Women with short stature had a higher risk (RM=1.84) of being obese than women without this condition, while in men the risk was lower (RM=0.79).
Conclusions: In Mexico the prevalence of obesity continues to increase regardless of socio-economic level, region or locality.
Objetivo: Describir la prevalencia de obesidad en adultos mexicanos estratificando por condiciones físicas y sociode-mográficas, y analizar tendencias.
Material y métodos: Análisis de 16 256 adultos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición (Ensanut) 2018-19. Se clasificó obesidad (OMS), adi-posidad abdominal (IDF) y talla baja (NOM-008-SSA3-2017). Se realizaron modelos de regresión logística para asociar obesidad y factores de riesgo. Para evaluar tendencias se analizaron Encuesta Nacional de Salud 2000 y Ensanut (2006, 2012, 2018-19).
Resultados: La prevalencia de sobrepeso fue 39.1%, obesidad 36.1% y adiposidad abdominal 81.6%. Se presentaron las prevalencias más altas en >40-50 años y en las mujeres. No hubo diferencia por nivel socioeconómico. En el periodo 2000-2018 aumentó la prevalencia de obesidad 42.2% y de obesidad mórbida 96.5%. Las mujeres con talla baja tuvieron mayor riesgo (RM=1.84) de tener obesidad que las mujeres sin esta condición, mientras que en hombres el riesgo fue menor (RM=0.79).
Conclusiones: En México, la prevalencia de obesidad sigue aumentando sin importar nivel socioeconómico, región o localidad.
